about

It's about life and death

lyrics

Coffins snap shut
Sooner than you expect
What's left
When the land that you glimpsed as a kid
Through a gap in the clouds
Evaporates now
As you pick at the scabs of regret

Life is a wave
Life is a wave

It's only when your world stops turning
That you can see what you had

All those ladders
That turned out to be snakes
The times you were blinded by the strip light migraines

If you dwell on the swivel chair years
That went by in a blur of bad decisions
They say there's a lesson in that
But is there

Or is life just a wave
Bright green on a black screen
It carries your weight
Then breaks
Life is a wave
Bright green on a black screen
It carries your weight
Then breaks
Then breaks

It's only when the world stops turning
That you can see what you had
A vast expanse of love
And pain that vows to drown you
The big questions
The small hours
And a frustrating lack of answers
